grammar pedant here: I have given an answer to 'Can you start a sentence with other?' This is similar & another example of a clause.

Since you can't see the other answer, I'll tell you anyway.

Since bla bla.......................................comma, next clause.

Works like 'if' don't you think?

Since Friday. (abbreviated answer about time.)

You can now see that 'since' fulfils two functions; one for reasoning & one for time.

Don't confuse the two & remember that since has to be followed by a point in time not a length or time i.e. "Since two weeks" "since 4 yrs" will lose you major marks in exams because you should use 'for' with lengths of time.

The brontosaurus is no longer a real dinosaur because WHY?

There are a set of rules for giving dinosaurs their scientific names, and one of those is that the first name given to a dinosaur is the one that is used. Since the name Apatosaurus was used before Brontosaurus, that is the one that should be used and Brontosaurus is therefore not the right name to call it.
